The future of the automotive industry relies on the safe, efficient, and sustainable operation of supply chains. The new VDA 6.8 publication has been released, representing a milestone in logistics and quality management and offering solutions for all supply chain challenges.

Why is the new VDA 6.8 important?

1. Main Objectives:

Ensure material supply at all stages of the value chain.
Optimize processes, reduce risks, and minimize costs.
Introduce a new methodological approach to auditing.
Clearly communicate the logistical requirements of the supply chain.

2. Key Features:

Covers all phases of the supply chain: from project planning to transportation and customer relations.
Initiates active dialogue between VDA and Odette/AIAG.

3. Why adopt it?

Integrates the expertise of manufacturers, suppliers, and logistics providers.
Combines the strengths of existing standards (e.g., GMMOG/LE, VDA 6.3) with new elements such as information security.
Defines minimum requirements for logistics processes, ensuring clear guidelines for all stakeholders.

What do industry leaders say?

"VDA 6.8 is not just a recommendation for the value chain; it is the next step in global standards. Extending the audit beyond factories – to roads, railways, and warehouses – creates a robust and standardized supply chain."

"VDA 6.8 is the first standard to offer a unified framework for supply chain logistics processes. It is essential for the smooth operation of the automotive industry."

"If companies base supplier selection on audit results, VDA 6.8 will become as successful as VDA 6.3."
